MILLVILLE, N.J. -- How bad is the pollen problem this year? This video might point to the answer.

Jennifer Henderson says her husband Eric was at work on Monday in New Jersey when he decided to tap a tree with his digger loader.

Once the machine tapped the tree - it's a pollen storm!

Pollen allergies tend to be worse in the spring.

Pollen allergies tend to be worse in the spring as plants and trees begin the process of reproduction, according to AccuWeather.

There are many types of pollen - from different kinds of trees, grass and a variety of weeds. If you've ever had a yellow, powdery substance covering your car, you've seen pollen.

How can you keep your allergies from acting up?

Stay inside, dust often and cleaning your home's air filter can go a long way to keeping pollen allergies at bay, AccuWeather says.
